opatch lsinventory: OPatch cannot find ORACLE_HOME

wolfej50Feb 13 2017 — edited Feb 14 2017

Oracle 12c on linux

I needed to upgrade OPatch (12.2.0.1.8) for applying the latest GI patch, so I set my environment variable to +ASM and unzipped the latest OPatch zip file to $ORACLE_HOME, replacing all existing files. The command

$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch version

ran correctly. But when I ran the command:

$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch lsinventory -detail -oh (as instructed in patch documentation)

I get the following error:

OPatch cannot find ORACLE_HOME ("-invPtrLoc")

I verified that the GI is at version 12.1.0.2.0 and the ORACLE_HOME environment variable was set correctly.

I suspect I'm missing something obvious.

I couldn't find anything searching the knowledge library.

Any ideas?
